    Hi folks,
    Thinking of selling my two sets of 16" honda diamond cut alloys. One set with Michelin Alpin PA3Winter Tyres and the other all season Michelin tyres. Looking to change to one set of 17" alloys with Michelin cross climates. Is there anywhere that might trade my two sets for one new set with tyres or is the best bet trying to sell on adverts or done deal?
    Cheers,
    Mick

    I doubt any shop will take them, just sell privately,
    That said, ring a few places and enquire.

    Cheers I've thrown an advert up on adverts and donedeal.

    In terms of new alloys what's considered good makes apart from going honda?

    Im thinking of not going for Diamond cut and going for something like these..

    Where would be a good place in Dublin to try? I'm thinking discount tyres?
    Cheers,

    Pro-Parts take wheels as a trade if you're buying a new set.

    Kingdom alloys take part exchange also, get more money selling private.

    No idea to be honest - but saves a lot of messing around I guess.

    Checked with Pro parts today. Max they will pay out is 250 in a trade in... Better hold out for private sale or failing that hold on to what I have
